[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 260743, member: 84"] I didn't really grow a "backbone" with husband until 10 yrs or so into the marriage. It wasn't so much that I didn't see what was going on, as I avoided confrontation as much as possible. Big things would cause me to confront him and hash it out, but something like this........I might ask a friend, but certainly not one that lives so far away nor if my child was sick. This sort of thing gets old eventually. And when it does, her husband better watch out cuz she won't be putting up with it anymore. Sometimes I think husband believes I did a Dr Jeckle/ Mr. Hyde thing on him. lol He tends to watch his own behavior of late because he knows I'll call him on it in a heartbeat. You did the right thing declining to help your friend. Explaining why you declined also helps her to see how "off" her husband's behavior really is. Things like this situation will bring about that "evantuality" alot faster, believe me. husband used to be a hoarder when I met him. He doesn't get the chance these days. If he doesn't use it, I toss it out. Right now I have a massive stamp collection in my way in the rec room. It's all over the place....I've already warned him to clean it up and organize it or it's going up on ebay and I'm selling the whole lot. I could care less that it's probably worth several thousand dollars. You helped your friend alot. Hugs [/QUOTE]
